Strengthening the Rule of Law in Egypt

The MENA Transition Fund Project: “Strengthening the Rule of Law: Effective and Transparent Delivery of Justice and Rule-Making in Egypt” is a joint partnership between the Ministry of Justice and the Court of Cassation, in cooperation with the African Development Bank and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development as Implementation Support Agencies. 

The project was officially launched on 25 September 2014 with the participation of the Minister of International Cooperation and the Minister of Communication and Information Technology, the Vice-Minister of Justice, and the Vice President of the Court of Cassation, the African Development Bank and high-level representatives from major stakeholders of the project.  

The project aims to design and implement an automated case management system for the Court of Cassation; build capacity of staff to use new systems; reduce case delays and improve the provision of judicial services to the public.  The second objective is linked to the broader agenda of the Egyptian Government on ensuring quality legislation. The Project works with the Ministry of Justice to build capacities in legislative drafting and strengthen mechanisms for consultation in the rule-making process.
